Waste My Love
Breaking Free from Love's Chains: Waste My Love by Halo Ridge
Lyrics
Don't look back now honey
Encouraging someone not to dwell on the past.
You're not going that way
Suggesting a forward-looking attitude, not dwelling on the negative.
You were burned, you were spurned and mistreated
Describing past pain, rejection, and mistreatment.
That's why you had to get away
Explaining the necessity of leaving to escape past hardships.
All the lies, you said your goodbyes
Referring to lies and expressing farewell.
And good riddance to you
Celebrating the departure of someone negative from the speaker's life.
I won't let you treat me that way
Asserting a refusal to be mistreated.
I'm not gonna waste my love on you
Declaring the decision not to invest love in someone unworthy.
Cheating, verbal beatings
Mentioning cheating and verbal abuse, highlighting a toxic relationship.
All the torment, too long a doormat
Describing enduring prolonged suffering, being a metaphorical doormat.
A grown up child lifts not one hand
Emphasizing a lack of violence in response to mistreatment.
This is not what you wanted in a man
Expressing disappointment in not meeting the expected qualities in a partner.
All the lies, you said your goodbyes
Repeating the theme of lies and farewells.
And good riddance to you
Reiterating the speaker's determination not to be mistreated.
I won't let you treat me that way
Restating the refusal to accept mistreatment in a relationship.
I'm not gonna waste my love on you
Reaffirming the decision not to invest love in someone undeserving.
Good riddance to you
Repeatedly expressing a farewell to the negative influence in the speaker's life.
Good riddance to you
-Good riddance to you
-I'm not gonna waste my love
Summarizing the central theme of not wasting love on someone who doesn't deserve it.
